Android Debug Bridge (ADB) driver on the Windows platform to enable USB debugging. The default USB driver on Windows does not allow debugging. For details about how to get the USB driver, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html.

After installing the driver, try running a few basic adb commands and check whether your device responds to it.

After installing these tools, update the Android SDK to get the API and tools packages required for development. You can update the SDK using the android tool that comes with the SDK Tools package. For example, on Ubuntu the following command starts the Android SDK Manager, which enables you to select the packages you want to install:

./android update sdk

Note: If you're developing on a 64-bit Linux machine, you must install the following dependencies in order to run 32-bit executables like adb, which allows Qt Creator to find devices to deploy to:

Now you can test your development setup by running the examples that came with the Qt 5 package installed earlier. You can browse the examples in Qt Creator Welcome mode. Use the android filter in the search field to list all the examples tested on Android.
